The Mystery of the Do Not Double Coupon

Do you cringe when you have a coupon that says "Do Not Double or Triple"? Are you afraid that your store will not double it even when they have a double coupon policy? Well you are certainly not alone. Here are a few things you should know about doubles.

If a coupon has the number 5 as the first number in the UPC code of the coupon, then the it will double at the register. If a it has the number 9 as the first number, then it will not double at the register as it's coded not to do so. Coupons with the first number of 9 are usually found on blinkie coupons which are found in that little red box that hangs off the shelf in your store.

So now you have a coupon with the number 5 (will double at the register) but it clearly states "Do Not Double" on the top (similar to the one pictured above). What happens?

First your store has to have a double coupon policy for any coupon to double. You must know your store policy. Sometimes the same chain of stores, like ShopRite, may have different double policies such as only deduct up to $.99 or like mine, double all coupons that are up to $.99.

Now, onto the "Do Not Double" stamped on top of that coupon. If your store doubles, the doubled portion of the coupon is considered a "store coupon". Meaning that the store covers the cost of the double portion, not the manufacturer. Now there are some cases where deals have been made with the manufacturer that they (the manufacturer) will cover that extra double portion. For example,
